After the releases of "LEAVE ME ALONE" and "FANCY", Amaarae tops it with the Kojey Radical and Cruel Santino assisted "JUMPING SHIP", a Baille Funk-sampling RnB cut that harkens back to the late 90s/early 2000s era when the sound of UK Garage commanded the utmost respect among soundsystem and club culture aficionados.

This latter day trio, far removed from the traditional structure of the form, is about leaving a current lover in pursuit of a new love interest. It's taboo subject matter which nonetheless applies uniformly, and gets practiced, across different sectors of our society. Driven by a thumping two-step beat and cushioned in a tingling guitar loop, the song is a statement of intent and a decision to abandon love rolled into one thick, sweaty toast-up of pop mastery.

LYRICS

[Hook]
You gon’ make me leave
The one i'm with
Jumping Ship
Done with this, more than done.
Pour me another drink
Take another sip
And another sip –Jumping Ship.

[Verse]
Hottie your a item
I wanna pay for
I’ve got attention if you make more time
I know we spent it, I wanna waste more
Push up on me till I’m feeling it
Droppin’ it look how you killin’ it
Tell me that you needed space
I’m out here pulling my weight
I left my man on the phone
I left my girls in LA
Don’t tell me you into the way that I moan
When you wanna keep me up late
Can’t keep that body in place
I gotta move out the way

[Hook]
You gon’ make me leave
The one I’m with
Jumping Ship
Done with this, more than done.
Pour me another drink
Take another sip
And another sip –Jumping Ship

[Verse - Cruel Santino]

(In Santinese)
Jump jump jumping ship
Pretty girls like to jump that ship
Wickedest seas
I killed the bastards
You are the curse
But it is a blessing

Shorty move like Tetris
Come thru and I wreck it
Little devil with a passion
Hunh. Suspend it

Me want to give her the serpent
Me want to give her the perfect style
She come thru with a joystick
Hoping she can ride it

Come see as I pick up she curse me
One step and I bring out the ghetto
Come bring out the wrath
The beast is a realer one
Buss up the chakra

[Verse]
If you wanna hit the molly, go and party
Pop up out in Abu Dhabi
That’s enough to keep me shining
Ima go ahead and fuck with you regardless
Wrap a blunt and get me started
Hold the fire – light my body up and try it
Light my body up and try it
You gon’ make me leave the one i’m with –Jumping Ship
Pull up and pop it in place, show me how dirty you play
Please, just like this
Yea, just like this
Be the one i’m with

[Hook]
You gon’ make me leave
The one i’m with
Jumping Ship
Done with this, more than done.
Pour me another drink
Take another sip
And another sip –Jumping Ship
[Hook]
You gon’ make me leave
The one i’m with
Jumping Ship
Done with this, more than done.
Pour me another drink
Take another sip
And another sip –Jumping Ship

[Outro]

There is a delicate, exquisite quality to her higher register and intonation that fondly reminds me of NAO. Both of them write and produce excellent R&B music that they should feel very proud of in this era.

Mam I only heard of this girl cause of tik tok, and I YouTube her expecting to see some white girl with the barbie doll cliche clothes on and was very happy to see a woman of color and so beautiful. So now I've subscribed to her and am a forever fan. Much love ❤👍
